🦋🦊 How much sleep do we need?

Generally

At least 8 hours

8 hours for adults.

9-11 hours for kids.

it varies. theres recommended hours and what a lot of people actually function on is usually less.

i get along fine with 6

#5 how? Isn’t that sleep deprivation?

Some days I sleep for just 4 hours or something and feel so fresh in the morning. Some days even after 9 hours it feels something is not complete in that sleep

They say that one has to finish eating at least 3 hours before going to bed. Like if you your bedtime is 10 pm you should finish eating by 7 pm

Taking a shower before going to bed too makes a huge difference! One is like a flower in the morning ! 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Read it somewhere:

A cold shower will keep you alert. You will sleep twenty minutes or half an hour later, but you will sleep better because it will take away certain things.

When you shower, it is not just the dirt on the skin that you are taking away.

Have you noticed, if you are very tense and anxious, after taking a shower, you come out feeling almost like a burden has been taken away from you?

It is not just about washing the skin. A whole lot of things happen when water flows over your body. Taking a shower is a very rudimentary cleansing of the elements because over seventy percent of your body is actually water. If you run water over it, a certain purification happens which is beyond cleaning the skin.

Breeze, you are always very gentle.

And this too: 💖💖💖💖💖

Keep Things Aside

“Just do this before you go to bed

In the last three minutes, keep aside everything that you have gathered – the body, the content of the mind, and the small things.

Do not ignore small things; these small things are big things.

I have seen how people are carrying their own private pillow because it is very important.

Your pillow, your footwear, if you have relationships, everything that you have gathered – keep it aside and sleep.”

#13 ha ha what makes you say so lol

When ever I search something, if I come across something nice, I always think of my OTF friends 💖💖 🦋🦋

I was reading about sleep now (because after CC mine is so alarmingly erratic)

And I was wondering if I was screwing up my health. I just resumed playing badminton and felt so happy

I thought I won’t be able to stay off CC but I can bring back those things I have been doing like painting hiking sports etc and strike a balance

This one is interesting too:💖💖💖💖

Sleep is a state where you are on the edge between the world of sounds and the world of silence, but you can only move into the world of silence when you are aware.

You can move through the world of sounds and forms unaware, but you cannot move into the world of silence, which is devoid of any vibration, devoid of any forms, in unawareness.

Isn’t it amazing how just a moment back we exist in a world that we know and next moment when we fall asleep it’s gone! How so ever I try to know when exactly that switch happens it’s difficult to catch lol
